Folder MP3 file Notes on MP3 discs  When a disc is loaded, the unit reads all the files on that disc. During this time, "READ" is flashing. If there are many folders or non-MP3 files on the disc, it may take a long time for play to begin or for the next MP3 file to start to play.  We recommend that non-MP3 files or unnecessary folders are excluded when creating MP3 discs.  During playback, audio files other than MP3 files are skipped even if those files are included in a folder.  This system can only play MP3 files that have a file extension of ".mp3". Note that even if the file name has the correct file extension but the actual file was created in a different audio format, this unit may produce noise or may malfunction.  MP3 PRO format is not supported.  This unit cannot play audio files on a disc in the following cases:  When the total number of audio files exceeds 413.  When the total number of folders on a single disc exceeds 99 (including the "ROOT" folder).  When the directory level (folder depths) exceeds 9 (including the "ROOT" folder).
